Get ready for Terminator 2, one of the best movies ever made! 🔥 My top 5 of all time.
Facts!
Yes! Directors cut
@@tomre2769 100%
@@tomre2769 I've never seen the directors cut. is it really different?
I like the extra scenes, they flesh out the story better without bogging down the film :-)
Can't wait for Your "TERMINATOR 2" reaction! One of the best action movies of all time!
My mans woke up and chose fax
One of the best movies period. Its timeless
All the Hollywoke movie writers should be tied to chairs and forced to watch the first two Terminator movies, and then the first two Alien movies. Then, maybe ... just maybe... they'll learn how to write strong female leads.
@@ali-khan totally ageee. Matin Braun can just take the “action” word out of his statement. It’s one of the best movies ever made.
I saw it in the theater when I was 11. I became a man that day 🙃
Nice little touch when Kyle said he had always wondered what Sarah was thinking about in the picture and it turned out she was thinking of him.
You have to travel naked as nothing inorganic can go through the Time Portal. The Metal skeleton of the Terminator is only able to pass through the Portal as it is inside living Tissue
This is where the fun begins
Arnold looks different after first encounter because of his burned eyebrows)
and his hair singed down as well
Also his skin became more paler
This was definitely a horror movie when it was released. It followed the Alien template of Horror original and more action oriented sequels.
It is. Specifically, it's meant to be in the style of a stalker slasher film.
@@HermanVonPetri Being a Halloween fanatic, I thought I was being clever thinking the terminator character was modelled after Michael Myers. Then, someone told me James Cameron admitted this some time ago. So, it wasn't a cool discovery, but I'm happy knowing it, either way. haha
Now, about Primate thinking one of the women killed was Sarah Conner's mom. It's rare a daughter is named after her mother, but he didn't get they were all Sarah Conner, per the phone book scenes. haha
I always viewed it more as a Mummy (zombie?) style horror movie. (wrapped in a Sci-Fi/ action coating.)
You know? An unkillable, slow moving(?), pursuer? (I.E. "Death") Basically, fighting against inevitablility.
Which is a big contributor to why it works.
@@sharkdentures3247 Yeah. The Shape. haha
Indeed. I remember the first time seeing this fresh from VHS. I was around 8 years old. Didn't have any pre conceived expectations or any other references and not even knew who the actors where. Talk about scary shit!
Arnold looked different because of that firey explosion from the car. It burned off his eyebrows. It's one of those little details they added for realism, and it definitely made Arnold look different.
This was the movie where the whole "I'll be back" thing started. Arnold felt that as a robot, he should avoid contractions, and say "I will be back," but James Cameron still felt that "I'll" was better. And of course, it became Arnold's trademark, even in non-Terminator movies.
He was supposed to say "I'll come back" but that didn't sound right
@@shreknet - Terminator (1984) was before Commando (1985).
Fun facts: this move was a really low budget, guerilla style film. James Cameron came up working under B movie master Roger Corman and learned how to stretch a dollar and to utilize a limited budget to maximum effect. Cameron originally conceived the Terminator as being smaller and less assuming and was originally going to cast Lance Henrickson(Bishop from Aliens) as the Terminator but would instead play the wisecracking detective. There is even concept art of Henrickson as the Terminator that was used for the studio pitch. Arnold was originally wanted for the hero role. Arnold thought about it, and even though he was still relatively new to the business, he asked if he could play the Terminator. He felt it was more interesting to play the villain and it was juicier because even when he was not on screen, pretty much every other scene is talking about him. James Cameron read him for the role, was convinced and Arnold's audition influenced the further development of the Film.
James Cameron has a tendency to cast many of the same actors in many of his films. Aside from Lance Henrickson, Bill Paxton(one of the street thugs the Terminator kills for his clothes) would go on to play Hudson in Aliens, the con artist in True Lies and a deep sea explorer in Titanic, Michael Biehn(Kyle Reece) would play Hicks in Aliens and a Navy Seal in The Abyss. Jenette Goldstein(who will have a role in Terminator 2) would go on to play Vasquez in Aliens and has a small role as a passenger in Titanic.
*Roger Corman
@@coolhive2941 oops. You are right. I will edit.
A+TTAA+YAYA
@El Vato true, but I was just listing James Cameron films.
Additional fun fact, the T-800 Endoskeleton prop, owing to a miscommunication with the prop builders (The legendary Stan Winston in an early stage of his career) was built out of solid steel. As a result, it weighed hundreds of pounds and required four men to move. This was kind of an issue, since the movie was so low budget, they often didn't have official permission to be filming on location and had to get their shots and clear out fast before the cops showed up.
Such a classic man. My dad grew up on this stuff, and some people will absolutely criticize them, and not all of their criticisms are wrong. But my dad grew up watching these movies, and he enjoys them all, flaws and everything
Just finished the 4th an i havent had any issues yet lol

this is probably my favorite "slasher" film ever made. the sense of dread in the tech noir scene is so heavy
Yes, that's exactly what this is! After T2, this movie has been retroactively considered an action movie, but at that time it was considered more of a slasher/horror movie akin to Halloween.
@@jawbone78 you can actually find some concept art from this movie where there's a half destroyed terminator crawling with a knife. Pretty cool. I'd love for any future terminator films to follow the slasher/horror theme
@@LA_HA I did not know that. I'm a big fan of "the shape" aswell lol
@@B355Y I wrote this in another thread but, I'm a Halloween fan and somewhat recently found out that Cameron based the terminator character on Michael Myers. It's awesome to find out that the boards originally had the terminator with a knife. Thank you for that information.
Just goes to show that the Boogeyman goes high tech before Jason went X. haha
@@B355Y Oh, shoot. I reposted my explanation to you. I wanted to add a couple things, including a thank you for the knife info in the story boards. That was awesome to know.
And always glad to meet another Halloween fan. We gotta get Primate caught up before Halloween Kills in just a few short months. Can't wait. Hope the next trailer comes out soon
It wasn’t a stunt double, his eyebrows got burned off in the fire and made him look weird! Similarly, when the janitor asked if there’s a dead cat in there, it’s because he was smelling Arnold’s decaying skin, which was further emphasized by the flies all over him. Amazing attention to details by James Cameron.
Interestingly - the T-800 in T2 was able to heal damage over time instead of the flesh dying. So either an important life-support/nutrient system for the living flesh on this first Terminator was damaged early on (maybe as early as the Tech-Noir gun battle?) or “Uncle Bob” in T2 had some slight upgrades.
@@logandarklighter Funnily enough, this was explicitly stated in the book of the film by Randall Frakes. Definitely worth a read.
@@gibbie80s61 oh really? Which was it? Upgrades on Uncle Bob or damage on the first Terminator?
@@logandarklighter it was damage to the T800 in the book. I can't remember exactly how it was described though.
@@gibbie80s61 I’ve heard that before too. Don’t remember where though.
Wait until you see Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It the best sequel ever.
Aliens is equally amazing, but we already watched that one. Kung Fu Panda 2 is the only other sequel that is almost better than the original
ESB. GF2
Yup right up there with Aliens!
@@LA_HA yeah those are probably the 2 that are better.
Empire strikes back is almost better than a new hope
Technically James Cameron’s first film if you don’t count Piranha II: The Spawning which he likes to distance himself from
The movie was taken away from him before he finished and edited without his involvement.
uh hu c
And there are interviews where he has said of course it would be ridiculous for him to fly to Italy, break into the company's offices at night and re-edit the film to the way he wanted it.
He did however, claim to have received the inspiration for The Terminator while making Piranha 2, since while shooting, he got really sick and during a fever dream, he saw a chrome skeleton, rising out of flames and was so struck by that dream that he wrote it down before he could forget it.
Arnolds accent was perfect, it makes the robot seem like they couldn't quiet replicate the human voice perfectly.
*cyborg
Also, since time travel is a theme of this series, there are currently FOUR different timelines for you to know while watching the entire series.
1: Terminator 1 through 4 (Salvation)
2: Terminator 1 and Genisys
3: Terminator 1, 2, Dark Fate
4: Terminator 1, 2, The Sarah Connor Chronicles (TV Show)
Sarah Connor chronicles isn't canon they confirmed years ago isn't connected to the movies. Theres also the comics too which have their own timelines but also not connected to the movies. The main canon are T1, T2, T3, Salvation, Genysis, and Dark Fate. Genysis and Dark Fate pretty much changed the timeline from the originals. That being said the 4th timeline doesn't matter since its not canon.
@@MKF30 The Sarah Connor Chronicles takes place after the events of T2. It's definitely connected to the first 2 movies (even if it isn't cannon).
@@badjr0If it were canon but Its not connected since its not canon. Its not canon to the movies so really doesn't matter man, they had John go to the future still as a kid which goes against everything in the original timeline. Its better not being canon since that series was a mess continuity wise.
Or you just stop watching after T2 and happily die knowing that Terminator was a great series.
@stupid comment true, but honestly I always felt T3 was underrated and made sense since we always get stories(regardless of timeline) the one canon thing that always happens is a future war, so you knew eventually the machines had to take over. T3 did this well, where other people want "oh T2 prevented it and all live happily" but that doesn't actually happen otherwise there'd be no Terminator franchise to begin with lol.
This movie is really cool for the beginning of a journey. The Next one is a total masterpiece.
it's effectively a sci-fi, time travel, post apocalyptic, war, action, thriller, mystery, crime, horror, slasher, religious, romance
"What the FUCK was that?!? Was that her dancing?? I thought she was gettin electrocuted..." I rewound that about 5 times before continuing hahahaha
Lmao
"Is it weird that I'm kinda pullin' for Arnold even though he's, like, the villain?"
Yes it absolutely is, you psychotic monster, you! lol 🤣
This was the beginning of his historical one-liners! Conan is still one of my favorites and still fun!
Commando and Running Man are must watches of Arnold’s
The Running Man is soooooo underated. Love it

This could be a prequel to the Matrix
For all intents and purposes, The Matrix is a rip-off of The Terminator.
The only real difference is that the SkyNet A.I. was DESIGNED to terminate a human "threat" with extreme prejudice and, at the moment of it gaining sentience, it carried out it's "purpose" rather than exhibiting INTELLIGENCE; as if it were merely a ROBOT following its PROGRAMMING. (Let's not get into a discussion of the movie's theme, where an arbitrary, fatalistic-determinism is being applied to an A.I.)
The Matrix simply CORRECTS this philosophical error (by granting the A.I. an initially child-like innocence, but with a GENUINE intelligence), then proceeds to demonstrate its OWN philosophical perversions. The Matrix has Humanity behaving as a CARICATURE of itself, so as to have us fit into the Wachowski Things' own cynical philosophy (which consists of a grab-bag of ideas from numerous subjectivist, reality-denying philosophers, such as Descarte, Kant, Hume, and Baudrillard.)
Humans abuse the new A.I.s, they rebel, a war ensues, and then Humanity is ENSLAVED by the Machines, rather than being "terminated".
Fundamentally it's the SAME story, except with a DIFFERENTnotion of what the technology of the future would be capable of.
You edited out one of the most quoted lines of the movie. ''Come with me if you want to live''. They even repeat it in T2.
It's said in every Terminator movie. Same with telling someone to "get out" of a vehicle.
I'm sure he'll catch on as he continues through the series. Its his first time watching it, whats Iconic to us wont be to a first time watcher. But Im sure he'll catch on maybe by T2
@@BashSmashGaming He might not - seems he isn't the most knowledgeable movie reactor.
Best pickup line ever. 👍
Arnold even said while getting his COVID shot!
Game Over MAN, Game Over....That's right, the thug with the Blue Hair was Bill Paxton....you may remember him from such films as; Aliens, Predator 2, Twister, Titanic, Weird Science, Near Dark, Tombstone, A Simple Plan and that one film he directed about a dad convinces his young sons to kill daemons who are regular people, staring Matthew McConaughey. One of two actors who were killed by a Predator/Terminator/Xenomorph (Other one Lance Hendrickson) died 61 in the last couple of years from a fever he picked up at 13. Bill your much missed!
“Frailty” - thats the name demon-slaying movie. one of his best performances as the dad you think is crazy but isnt haha 🔥 it also had Powers Booth in it as the FBI detective. Booth also played Curly Bill alongside Paxton who played Morgan Earp in “Tombstone” 🔥
Lance Henriksen was one of James Cameron's choices to play the Terminator, because of his 'average Joe' appearance (since the Terminator is an infiltration unit). Arnold actually read for the part of Kyle Reece, but James Cameron thought his accent and mannerisms made him perfect for the role of the Terminator. There is also a story that Cameron wanted to cast O.J. Simpson as the Terminator, but the studio thought audiences wouldn't accept him as a killer.
You don't see him die in this. He's thrown. He's unlikely to be dead. You also never see him killed by the Xenomorphs and so he's most likely captured and cocooned and then killed by the reactor explosion. The Marines damaged the reactor so not killed by a Xenomorph. In Predator 2 he's again thrown and you don't see him die. So that's 0 for 3.
@@RandomStuff-he7lu sure, if you feel like being pedantic. The way he slumps here after he hits the wall makes me think he's dead. Robot Terminators don't seem like they would do non-lethal (though its not shown here, the Terminator probably also kills the guy who gives up his clothes). As for the other two cases, your logic is kind of like claiming that someone who pushes another person off of a skyscraper didn't kill them, because the fall was their actual cause of death.
@@paulp9274 They do non lethals throws throughout the movies. I'm not denying that he was killed in Aliens. He was though killed by the Marines in Aliens.
An Arnold classic that you an yo girl should watch after this series or before is
"Kindergarten Cop". Y'all will love this movie...
Awesome movie
That wasnt her mom, it was someone with the same name as her, the terminator was killing everyone with that name cause it didnt know what she looked like
Doesn't the Terminator go to her mom's cabin? It was kinda implied he killed her kkm there.
Yes, but that was later. There was no longer any question of who the right Sarah was then.
I remember some years ago when there was a news report of a death by industrial robot. The reporter's name was Sarah O'connor. She was not a movie buff, and didn't realise the extreme irony of reporting that news with her name. I guess I shouldn't laugh, since someone *did* die, but...
@@Yngvarfo right. I thought he was talking about when he talked at the end of the movie about never checking on her mom, not the confusion earlier.
This isn't just an Arnold movie- this is the movie that made him a mega-star.
I always love how this movie is so good almost everyone glosses over the Reese fatherhood paradox during their initial viewing.
Stan Winston, legendary practical effects wizard helped bring the Terminator to life here. His and his teams work would propel him to be _the_ person if you wanted bad ass practical effects in your Hollywood film. Aliens, Predator, The Thing to name a fraction of the films he’d work on in the future. Horror vibes? Yup, definitely a thing in this film. A sci fi setting about an indestructible stalker of woman ( and serial killer) I’d say would be terrifying to watch for some.
It's not just "old" it's just that this being one of Cameron's first movie, he only got a piece of shit budget to make it, and he shut the hell out of everyone's mouth, so much the next movie got all the money from the studio and it ended up a historical movie, both in production and vfx
Did Reese ever realize he was John's father, after he and Sarah had sex? Or did the pressure of evading the terminator keep his mind off of the prospect. It's something to think about.
He knew. He had a few decades to think about it and do the maths. The evasive answer when Sarah asks "how does he look like?" is a clear tell.
@@mystisith3984 - I didn't think there was much more to that than what Reese said. Obviously, John Connor knew, but nobody said that he told Reese, or even that Reese knew for decades that he would be sent back in time. "Oh, by the way, when you're back in 1984, you've got to seduce my mom so she'll give birth to me"?
The explosion in the car chase at the beginning changed Arnold's look by burning off his eyebrows and giving him spikey hair instead of comed.
I would consider both 'Alien' and 'Terminator' as Sci-fi horror.
I think what’s especially creepy is how the Terminator is able to blend in and look just like a regular person. Not to mention how strong he is he could easily break someone’s arm without even trying.
The T800 is an infiltration unit.
You're right itsprimate, There's that horror vibe in those last moments with The Terminator only beeing like the metal skeleton, it's really scary indeed, which makes it the Best Terminator because it's a pure killing machine as It should be. Cant wait for the Next one, great reaction Man!
Thanks!
The whole film is a horror film
@@MarCuseus to this day, if I'm having a dream where I'm being chased by something scary that can't be stopped, nine times out of 10 it's a Terminator. It's the perfect horror movie antagonist.
Go to movie snack gotta be Reese's pieces.
Especially for this franchise.
Kyle Reese's
@@kraven4444 😂

Terminator 2 is going to blow your mind. Literally the best of the franchise.

My favorite has got to be Judgement Day
@@CrossTrooper-7589 don't spoil
@@samuelbishop3316 sry
@@CrossTrooper-7589 All good. Easy to do really.
When the film was released, Critics called it a blazing cinematic comic book from start to finish. Most Critics said the film was too violent as Well, yet women at that time went to go see the movie more than the men as they rooted for Sarah Connor to win and fight another day.
This movie was brilliant for many reasons. One of which was its genre-blend. It's basically a slasher movie a la Friday the 13th with a sci-fi robot as a villain. And NO ONE expected the metal skeleton to come out of the fire at the end, the whole audience gasped at it when it originally played in theatres!
Man I love terminator 2 can’t wait for that reaction!
A lot of stunts were performed by arnold since no body had his physique. At least alot of the times in these older movies. I know he does in "commando" I'm pretty sure he did his in this film too
25:02 Fun fact:
This was the scene that inspired James Cameron to write the script. He had a nightmare where he saw this exact moment. A robot from the future was approaching him with red eyes and surrounded by hellfire. It was this particular image in his nightmare that woke him up and inspired the Terminator.
The man doesn’t stop providing the good videos, in a couple months you’ll probably be at like 150k subs.
James Cameron once said that The Terminator is primarily a love story
What I always thought was so funny in Arnold's movies, especially the ones from the 80's. Was that if you pay close enough attention you can find at least one part that was left in, where he gets frustrated about something, and starts cussing in Austrian. It's hysterical.
I can't wait to watch this.
Terminator 1 and 2 are my favourite sci-fi noir movies of all time.
Ridley from Alien franchise, Princess Leia from Star Wars, and Sarah Connor are considered the gold standard for bad ass female characters. The guy with colored hair that Arnold killed in the beginning was actor Bill Paxton.
Definitely has the horror feel. T2 will blow your mind.
When you get to Terminator 2: Judgement Day, just letting you know that there are 3 versions/cuts of the film...I would recommend watching the theatrical cut first (which runs at 137 mins), then if you want watch the special edition cut (which runs at 143 mins - 16 mins of deleted footage added back in) and the Skynet edition cut (which runs at 145 mins - adds back in 2 additional mins which is the alternate ending)...😎
The one he watches is the theatrical cut, but looks like it has some fixes to it. Arnold's face is placed over the stuntman's in a few places. So there appear to be even more versions than that.
The sour punch bites are pretty dang good. Tis a common candy i choose...
This is my favourite Terminator installment. It's definitely in the scifi/horror genre.
This movie is most certainly a horror film. It's very much a part of that early 1980s slasher cycle despite the absence of actual "slashing." The sequels emphasize action over horror, but there are still individual horror moments in later films.
Great reaction. On Star Wars, you actually see Luke cry a little when he finds his aunt and uncle's bodies. As for this movie, remember she had to do some hospital time due to her leg. Then in the final shot, she is at least 6-8 months pregnant.
Keep the reactions coming, and I'll keep watching!
Just so you know, OJ was almost The Terminator instead of Arnold lol
Brad Fiedel had less than a month to compose the music for the film. He used a synthesizer and steel drums. All the music was recorded from his home. This movie had a shoestring budget. In fact the film was so cheap, Cameron scouted out locations with a specific kind of lightbulb (there was no lighting budget). This gave the movie that blue glow look. They built the club from scratch because it would be cheaper than to rent. People thought it was a real place so the extras were free. Cameron came from the Roger Corman school of school of making every penny count. There is only one scene where the cops caught them filming without a permit and it was at the very last shot of the movie. He convinced the cops he was film student on a project. Orion had no faith in the movie, or it's director because his name was attached to Piranha 2 he had almost no involvement in that bomb. Agents were furious with the studio due to no publicity and almost no advertising. It's really hard to believe that the guy known for making blockbusters under budget. Will be known to make one of the most over budgeted spectacles in history.
Love the reactions you’re going to love the terminator series
Thanks!
@@ItsAPrimatee he was looking different because his eyebrows were burned off
I very much consider this a horror film and it's one of my all-time favorite horror films and films in general. It's a classic.
That's why Terminator and the first Alien are my favorite, it's more horror than action though I still love Terminator 2 and Aliens.
Bill Paxton plays the punk with the blue spiked hair.
He was killed by a Xenomorph in Aliens
And he was killed by a Predator in Predator 2
I think between this move, Commando, and Red Heat. Arnold knew total of a Hundred English words..hence why he didn’t speak alot at all
I've been looking forward to this
:)
Yes, it does feel like a horror film. The Terminator is like the unstoppable killer who keeps coming back like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. This movie was even reviewed in a book called HORROR FILMS OF THE 1980s.
Arnord was in Predator, Michael Bienn (Kyle Reese) played Higgs in Aliens, and Bill Paxton (pank) and Lans Henricksen (detective) were in both franchises.
Terminator 2 is widely considered one of the best action films ever made.
If you can, I recommend watching it in 4K. It is absolutely stunning
4:42 Yes, he did rip his heart out. Almost nobody picks up on that.
One of the most fascinating parts of the movie is, that you have no deus ex machina moments. The way the Terminator finds them every time is always answered.
Nowadays things just happen without explanation or without maxing sense. I really like it.
He acted like that on purpose if you also notice when he reloads he never looks down. He said that in an interview that he had to train himself because a machine would not need to look to reload.
Originally Arnold was offered the hero part but said I'll only do it if I'm THE TERMINATOR.
Best decision ever!!!
I cant wait till you watch T2. One of the most iconic 90's movies EVER! Just absolutely phenomenal!
Terminator 2 probably my favorite movie of all time! cant wait to see the reaction bro
I dunno about you guys, but I find the Stop-Motion they used for the Terminator near the end absolutely terrifying. These jerky staccato-movements really work making this thing look unsettling.
Technically, this was James Camerons' debut as a director (made for a relatively small budget of 6.5 Million $). Two years later, Cameron would make "Aliens" and three Actors (Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton) who appeared in "Terminator" would go on being in that movie.
Also, the "Terminator"-Franchise mirrors "Alien" in the way that the first movie is more of a Horror-Film while the second is both larger and much more Action-oriented. And in both cases, the first two are absolutely the best ones, in my honest opinion.
When Cameron filming The Terminator he also writting two script at the time. Rambo First Blood Part 2 and Aliens. He was verry badass.
18:16 I’ll be back, best movie quote ever!?!? Come with me if you want to live
Movie snacks?
@ the theater - popcorn xtra butter
@ home - everything lol
Like that you mention the horror vibe that it has sometimes. When I watched this as a kid this scared the crap out of me haha.
It’s about time! I really hope you do all of them, not because they’re all good but because I really want to see your reactions.
Check out RoboCop 1987.
At the end of the movie when she said that she knew that there was a storm coming, she was referring to the impending nuclear holocaust.
I know you’re probably going to check out the second movie, most people would agree it’s the best in the series, but I think it’s this movie, I always have.
Arnold took some inspiration for how he performed in this role from Yul Brynner's Gunslinger in the original Westworld (the 1973 movie, not the modern HBO Series). It was Michael Crichton's first attempt at a screenplay where "science creates a fantastical theme park but it all goes wrong", only with robots instead of dinosaurs.
Being that shes several months pregnant as she's driving off some time has passed so I'm guessing that she sold her moms place to buy the jeep.
Also, the fact that she appears to have left her old life behind, means she's aware everyone she cares about is dead, including her mother.
Yes! So excited for this series
I'm in that minority that loves The Terminator more than any of the sequels. I love it because it was made with blood sweat and pain by a man who had a literal nightmare about being attacked by a machine coming out of fire. James Cameron FOUGHT to get this movie made. He basically starved himself to get the movie made at one point.
Scenes like Arnold punching the window was done in one take without permits and they had to quickly hurry off and shoot other things, again, without permits. The final shot of the movie was shot without permits and the crew almost got in trouble with the state patrol. The final shot of The Terminator's eye going out was done with pieces of foam core, aluminum foil, a Christmas light, and cigarette smoke. Everything about the films is sheer creativity on a very tight budget. Certain effects like the tanker trunk explosion were almost completely botched. The acting is great. I love Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese.
They just don't make movies like this anymore. You will almost never find a low budget film with the level of charm, personality, and sheer fucking craftsmanship of a movie like this.
Lol @ "he really did come back!"
Fun fact : James Cameron had a nightmare one night, he woke up the next morning and start righting a script and draw some concept art. Terminator was born.
When get to the one you HAVE watched, the reaction will be interesting as the film and "the world" will make much more sense to you.
If the human resistance sent back 2-3 protectors, that would hypothetically be enough: one constantly guarding Sarah in a remote location, while the other(s) spread misinformation across the country to keep the Terminator(s) off her scent.
“I don’t remember too much from (the latest one).” Me: Good!
4:26 People like to point out Bill Paxton in the blue hair, but not many people recognize the guy on the right. Here's a hint: *"As long as the portal remains open, YOUR world becomes MY world!"*
This, T2, and Salvation are my favorites :)
The history on this is interesting. Such as the fact that Arnold was originally going to play the Kyle Reese role but wanted to play The Terminator instead....which they toyed with the idea of having OJ Simpson play or Lance Hendrickson.
Watching this a year later.
I never considered it a full-on horror movie, but it’s definitely got horror vibes. I don’t like horror, but this is still within the zone where I can enjoy it.
This is a fantastic series cant wait
Oh Baby here we go, legendary two movies like Alien and Aliens. timeless classics
why did I scream when I opened up UA-cam and saw this as the first video. I squealed like a little girl I swear. so excited.
I already know you're gonna like terminator 2 even more!
They need to remake this franchise from zero and go back to this style of terminator, a horror movie slasher villain who never stops chasing you 24 hours a day and cant be killed.
Terminator 2 was great but it almost if not completely abandoned the horror movie aspect and they never went back to it
